For small scale files, they're quite thick. If I had to guess, I'd say it's about a quarter of an inch.
The cutting surface is approximately 3 inches wide. They have a total of six. The cutting surfaces on all of the ones I got are extremely nice. It's just right, not too coarse for fine work but strong enough for heavy work.
width: apx; height: apx; width: ap a quarter inch approximation of thickness 1/16th. It's difficult to get a more precise measurement.
It appears to be listed as in the photographs of the files. 16". Touch the image on Amazon to see a larger version, then scroll down until you see the image with the measurements.

On 3D printed plastic parts, I almost always use this size. This set is an exception to the rule that files this size and price range are usually pretty bad. These are perfect for the job. They're all well-shaped and straight, with the exception of one, which has perfectly straight tips. At the tip of the triangle, there is a slight twist. It's almost un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un It's barely noticeable. All of the files are well-cut all the way to the end. I couldn't ask for a nicer 6" set for what I'm using them for. This was an excellent purchase for me. br>br> I didn't give these five stars because they don't appear to have been hardened. Even when only slightly bent, these bend fairly easily with no spring back. Despite the fact that these files cut very well and evenly, I'm not sure they'd last long if used on metal. This is a real pity because they are otherwise excellent.
These files were just the right size and didn't cut too deeply for what I needed. Large wooden ship models are something I enjoy doing. I required the files for a 49" project. With fifty-five years of experience I needed files to'square up' the gun ports in the hull, which were two. The files didn't leave jagged edges or go too deep into the wood, leaving a sharp, clean edge, which was exactly what I needed. At the same time, I didn't have to keep filing in order to finish the job. These files, I believe, would also work well on metal. I'm glad I went with these because of the size of the files and the easy-to-hold handles. The files were also delivered on time and in a timely manner.
This is an attractive collection. Well-made, with a nice finish. With one exception, this is a good deal. They aren't very long-lasting. These were purchased to clean up holes in a plastic project box. They were able to chew without difficulty at first. The half- The job required a round file, which was ideal. However, after a half-dozen holes, they stopped chewing as much. It's becoming tedious to work on this document. On a sheet of plastic The steel in the file is insufficiently hard. I believe that if you were very gentle with them, they would last longer, but you wouldn't get nearly as much done. Keep in mind that there is a limit - Aside from that, I like them.
So, when I go to the review page, it asks me how I would rate the "sheerness" right away. What? After that, there's the question of cost-benefit analysis. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay "Comfort" is the next word. Then it occurs to me that this is a stocking made of nylon or silk. I'm 73 years old, balding and overweight, and a man. Perhaps I wore them in my youth, but no one ever took pictures of me wearing them, so I'm not sure. It is a set of fine metalworking and woodworking files. not a set of evening accessories.
They can cut quickly and leave a smooth finish. I intend to use them primarily for model work in plastic, wood, and soft metals. As you can see in the photo, these aren't your typical low-cost needle files like the ones on the left, but instead have larger profiles. The small handles appear to be securely mounted and sized appropriately, given that these files are only meant to be used with light pressure on the forward stroke. br>br>I haven't tried these on harder metals yet, but they seem to work fine on aluminum and brass. I recommend rubbing chalk on the file before using it on soft metals, as this is an old trick. This will keep the fine tooth pattern from becoming clogged and make cleaning the file with a wire brush much easier.
I needed a round file for a quick fix on a project, so I ordered the kit because it was cheap (I usually buy Pferd files) and would arrive the next day. Three of the files were used on the project, and they all cut beautifully. Will these files be able to withstand multiple filing operations on hard metals such as stainless steel? I doubt it, but they'll last a long time and were a good deal at the price.
I have a set of screwdrivers in the same color and style as yours. I was surprised by how small these were. Unreal! br>br>For sharpening, I require good files. These items appear to be on the verge of breaking. Details can be found in the photo.
a lot less than expected.
